X-linked parkinsonism-spasticity syndrome(XPDS)

MedGen UID:
813052
•Concept ID:
C3806722
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Parkinsonism with spasticity, X-linked
SNOMED CT: X-linked parkinsonism with spasticity syndrome (770757004); XPDS - X-linked parkinsonism with spasticity syndrome (770757004)
Modes of inheritance:
X-linked recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
375779
•Concept ID:
C1845977
•
Finding
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for recessive traits related to a gene encoded on the X chromosome. In the context of medical genetics, X-linked recessive disorders manifest in males (who have one copy of the X chromosome and are thus hemizygotes), but generally not in female heterozygotes who have one mutant and one normal allele.
See: This record
X-linked recessive inheritance (Orphanet)
 
Gene (location): ATP6AP2 (Xp11.4)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010482
OMIM®: 300911
Orphanet: ORPHA363654

Definition

A rare genetic neurological disorder with characteristics of parkinsonian features (including resting or action tremor, cogwheel rigidity, hypomimia and bradykinesia) associated with variably penetrant spasticity, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes and Babinski sign. There is evidence this disease is caused by hemizygous mutation in the ATP6AP2 gene on chromosome Xp11. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Clinical features

From HPO
Spasticity
MedGen UID:
7753
•Concept ID:
C0026838
•
Sign or Symptom
A motor disorder characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes with increased muscle tone, exaggerated (hyperexcitable) tendon reflexes.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Babinski sign
MedGen UID:
19708
•Concept ID:
C0034935
•
Finding
Upturning of the big toe (and sometimes fanning of the other toes) in response to stimulation of the sole of the foot. If the Babinski sign is present it can indicate damage to the corticospinal tract.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Hyperreflexia
MedGen UID:
57738
•Concept ID:
C0151889
•
Finding
Hyperreflexia is the presence of hyperactive stretch reflexes of the muscles.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Bradykinesia
MedGen UID:
115925
•Concept ID:
C0233565
•
Sign or Symptom
Bradykinesia literally means slow movement, and is used clinically to denote a slowness in the execution of movement (in contrast to hypokinesia, which is used to refer to slowness in the initiation of movement).
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Resting tremor
MedGen UID:
66697
•Concept ID:
C0234379
•
Sign or Symptom
A resting tremor occurs when muscles are at rest and becomes less noticeable or disappears when the affected muscles are moved. Resting tremors are often slow and coarse.

Parkinsonian disorder
MedGen UID:
66079
•Concept ID:
C0242422
•
Disease or Syndrome
Characteristic neurologic anomaly resulting from degeneration of dopamine-generating cells in the substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain, characterized clinically by shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking and gait.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Cogwheel rigidity
MedGen UID:
57469
•Concept ID:
C0151564
•
Sign or Symptom
A type of rigidity in which a muscle responds with cogwheellike jerks to the use of constant force in bending the limb (i.e., it gives way in little, repeated jerks when the muscle is passively stretched).
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Hypomimic face
MedGen UID:
208827
•Concept ID:
C0813217
•
Finding
A reduced degree of motion of the muscles beneath the skin of the face, often associated with reduced facial crease formation.
